scottm Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I finally got around to installing 5270 and everything is working well enough, except Outlook. I'm running 2003 SP2 with an Exchange server and for every message it grabs it pops up a "Windows is configuring Microsoft Outlook" window. It's similar to what it does when a user has run Outlook the first time, but it goes through and does it once for every single message. I also am not getting the messages at the top of the message window that give you the option to enable links or view HTML in messages that it blocked those on.I've looked around and I haven't seen anyone else commenting on these issues so far. Has anyone else seen this and/or know how to resolve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 scott,is this in a network environment? what version of exhchange is this on? 2000 or 2003? did install the whole office suite or just outlook? did you add the machine to the domain where the exchange is located or no? i have gotten outlook to connect to an exchange 2003 server without issue so it should be possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottm Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 This is a network environment. Exchange 2003 SP2 (running on SBS 2003 Premium SP1). I installed only Outlook. The machine is in the domain and I am using it logged in as a domain user without administrator rights.Outlook does connect to the Exchange server, but a couple features aren't working right and it's running some little installer for every single new message. If I have 100 new messages, I have to start Outlook and wander off for a bit while Outlook runs the little installer 100 times. If I send a new message, that adds a new message to my Sent Items, so I get the installer running once more for every message... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 is the machine a desktop or a laptop? also did you just install the default setting for outlook or did you do the setup for a automated install? what does that installer look like it is trying to install? have you checked the event logs for any MSI events or install errors? i have sent and recieved mail from both on the network and off the network, we use W2K3 EE instead of SBS but i don't believe that to be the issue, we both are running the same version of Exchange so that narrows it down some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottm Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 It's a desktop. It's installed off the Outlook 2003 CD from SBS 2003 and patched to SP2. The installer says "Please wait while Windows configured Microsoft Outlook 2003", it says it's gathering information, the progress bar flashes a couple times, and the window goes away.The app log entries are some from Windows Restart Manager (2 10000, a 10004 which reports registering 1 file, and 2 10001) and an MSI Installer message (11728) indicating that Outlook 2003 configuration completed successfully.There's a whole slew of odd Information event 2 and 62 about OUTLOOK.EXE overriding power management settings and svchost updating the system timer resolution.

fizban2 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 hrm, i will try and load vista to a desktop again tommorow and through just outlook on and see what i get. i doubt the HW is the issue, (i have it running on a laptop and a tablet with no issues) but i will try a desktop to just to see, anyway, The windows restart manager is a tool MS has been developing to allow for hotpactching of the OS, glad to see it is working even in this verision, you might try deleting the exchange connection or creating a second profile and see if the same thing occurs.

scottm Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 I had an idea this morning and turned off cached mode. That proved to be a work around for the installer window problem.The anti-phishing features and the option to allow blocked content still don't show up, but I can live with that.
